...they are referring to an unnamed punishment Haruhi threatened Kyon and Mikuru with at the end of Melancholy of Mikuru. "...a punishment so inhuman that even the blood stained gates of hell would tremble after hearing it."
But wasn't Melancholy of Mikuru after charmed? Or am I missing something here?
Yes but those guys were comparing that other "punishment" in "Melancholy of Mikuru" to the one in "Charmed", and the fact that the translation for "Melancholy of Mikuru" came first means most people here read that one first.
This is creating a lot of confusion, perhaps I should separate the two topics. From here on this thread will solely be for the discussion of Charmed at First Sight LOVER.
"Though Kyon's only responsible for dictating this love letter, you could still take it home as a souvenir. After all, this letter is either very ambiguous or very honest, but it's rare to find this sort of confession in this day and age"
That "only" makes it sound as if Yuki might want it because Kyon wrote it out, not because it was her first (because I couldn't give her mine ) love letter.
No Yuki! Stay away from guys who write letters like that!
It may be a double negative, one of this pesky English rules in writing where saying something like: No, I won't do it! Technically means: Yes, I will do it.
However, in English speech, saying: No, I won't do it! is usually just an emphasis of the negative word 'No' at the begining of the sentence.

It does? I've never heard that before, now I gott try to slip it into my next paper to see if the professor catches it...oh wait, I don't have to take any more English classes.

Yes, you're right about double negatives, but "No, I won't do it" is a bad example because it isn't a double negative. Not even technically. The "No," is supported by the "I won't do it", not contradicted.
